Michael Soroka's Immaculate Inning: Diamondbacks History

0:00On March 31st, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Michael Soroka just made history with an immaculate fifth inning against the Detroit Tigers on Monday, night. That's striking out three batters on exactly nine pitches, and he's only the fourth guy in franchise history to pull it off. He smoked Javier Baez, Kerry Carpenter, and Glaber Torres, one after another, capping it with a 95-mile per hour fastball for his 10th. Strike out of the game, tying his career high. This was Soroka's first start for the Diamondbacks after signing a $7.5 million one-year deal in the offseason. The 28-year-old represented Canada in the World Baseball Classic and was an all-star with the Atlanta Braves back in 2019. Before this, injuries wrecked him back to back Achilles Tears, kept him out most of 2020 and all of 2021 and 2022. The other Diamondbacks pitchers, who nailed in a immaculate inning, were Randy Johnson in 2001, Beung-Hin Kim in 2002, and Wade.
